Mary the mother of Jesus and the Catholic Church tradition
bloody shame otherwise called The Blessed  perfect(a) bloody shame or The  arrant(a) Mary or Blessed Virgin  foothold commonly  utilise within the Roman Catholic church building to  appoint Mary the  bewilder of  deliveryman whose teaching and  vox populis form the basis of  rescuerianity. The Catholic Church holds the position held by Mary in high  envision and this has occasioned many teachings as well as doctrines on this subject. (Newsweek, 6)During the Second Vatican Council in the Dogmatic Constitution of the Church on November 21 1964, Mary was  as well  precondition other  claims of Mediatrix, Adjutrix and Advocate (http//www.whidbey.net/dcloud/fbns/marycoredeemer.htm)The term Virgin Mary is  non used virtually as a belief in her virginity  only if as a sign of a role of  disembodied spirit  perseveration for the Catholic Church and for the Christians life. In Catholicism Mary is viewed as alive, and  keep in  nirvana where she is able to hear prayers offered by  tender being   s on earth then intercedes on their behalf to Jesus her son. (Newsweek, 6)Mary as  distant to Eve (the first woman) is considered as absolutely obedient in  detail she was called the Second Eve by St. Irenaeus this was because it was through Mary that the first  injury was undone, the damage that had been caused by Eve eating the fruit of the forbidden tree, where human beings were condemned by God to a life of sin.In 431AD, Mary was given the title Theotokos a Greek name that translates as the God- bearer or  comprehend Mother of God. This description is purported to be supported by the  devoted Scriptures in Luke 143 when Elizabeth saluted Mary thus But  wherefore am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Luke 143)Officially in the Roman Catholicism there are 4   doctrines or beliefs about Blessed Virgin Mary. They  include Mother of God (Theotokos )  unending virginity Immaculate conception  guess in to heaveni) Mother of God (Theotokos)In Mariology or the C   hristian theology concerned with Mary the mother of Jesus, this is the main and  article of belief  principle. The Ecumenical Council of Ephesus declared it in 431AD. It is also considered to be the oldest of all the dogmas.The dogma in Mariology is  very important especially in the Theology of Christ because as it is argued, if Mary was  non the mother of God then it did not hold true that Jesus was God. As pointed before, this dogma was based on book of Luke 143 through Elizabeths salutation.Mary as the mother of God is regularly addressed as Theotokos in most Hymns in Catholicism and other Eastern Orthodox churches. One of the common hymns that is used in most services is Axion Estin which means It is truly meet.  early(a) hymns in this regard include the famous Hail Mary, Beneath thy  forbearance among others. (Newsweek, 7)The Immaculate ConceptionIn this Catholic Dogma Mary is considered as a very unique person among the humanity. She was unique because she was born without sin    and was  uninvolved from the  maestro sin. It was also held that she was sinless in her entire life.This dogma was promulgated by Pope Pius 1X on 8th December 1854.According to the Catholic Church teachings Mary was granted  forgiveness since conception yet she needed a  rescuer through Jesus Christ. Also by way of God, the Catholic Church teachings hold that she shared in the gifts of the crucifixion of Jesus. Scriptural support for this is to be found in Luke 128 which is used to support the  clean conception of Mary. Other scriptures in support of the immaculate conception is the  congresswoman in the scripture when she was greeted by Angel Gabriel as full of grace or highly favoredAlso  agree to this dogma, Mary was highly regarded as being the Ark of the Covenant in the New Testament and  fair(a) like Moses who used incorruptible wood for the tablets, it was seen befitting for her to be  do immaculate and incorruptible as well.The Dogma of Immaculate Conception was importantly    given more prominence from the vision of Our Lady of Lourdes in 1858. A 14- category-old girl by the name Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes made claims to the effect that a beautiful lady had made an appearance to her the beautiful ladys name as she put it, was The Immaculate Conception, the Catholic  confining believed this was indeed the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (Newsweek, 8)To show how solemn the dogma of the Immaculate Conception is in the Roman Catholic Church, there is a Holy Day of Obligation in 1st of January every year for this purpose and it is almost celebrated as a holy  daylight in some countries. (Newsweek, 8)Mary is usually highly considered in Catholicism  contradictory the rest of the humanity, she is considered to be free of the original sin. The Catholics argue that Jesus could not have been born in a vessel that was sinful. Thus to be able to carry Jesus in her womb she had to be free of the original sin. (Newsweek, 8)The perpetual virginity In this    dogma, the Roman Catholic Church  barely affirms Marys real and perpetual virginity even in the  morsel of giving birth to the Son of God made man. (Catechism of the Catholic church 499) what this meant was that Mary remained a virgin in her entire life and Jesus was her only biological son who was not only miraculously conceived, but born as well. http//www.cin.org/v2church.htmlIt is further believed that in fact, Christs birth sanctified Marys virginity. Scriptural support for this belief is stated thus The LORD said to me, This gate is to remain shut. It  must(prenominal) not be opened no one may  forecast through it. It is to remain shut because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. (Ezekiel 442) this, according to this dogma there was no form of sexual intercourse  amid Mary and Joseph which would have defiled her. The Catholics therefore hold that Mary remained  thin and undefiled in her entire life. (Newsweek, 6)Some important statements to support this belief    would include the Lateran Synod of 649, where in the teachings of Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologiae III.28.2, Mary is said to have given birth miraculously without pain, without opening her womb and without injuring or rupturing the hymen. http//www.cin.org/v2church.htmlThe  self-confidence of MaryThis dogma is the last among the four and is the most recent having been dogmatically defined as infallible on 1 November 1950 by Pope Pius XII in his Apostolic Constitution.The Theology of the Roman Catholic Church holds that The Blessed Virgin Mary having completed the course of her earthly life, was  fake body and  head into heavenly glory (Pope Pius XII, 1950). What this meant is that Mary unlike other humanity was   saten to heaven, united body and soul, thus she never died the natural death  go through by all living beings.The Roman Catholics celebrate the accession to heaven of Mary in the feast day as The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In John 143 Jesus in hi   s Last Supper said thus  And if I go and  bushel a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. Mary is assumed to be the person to fulfill this promise. This is the scripture that is used to support the  supposition of Mary into heaven.REFERENCESCatechism of the catholic church 499Pope Pius XII Munificentissimus Deus  Defining the Dogma of the Assumption, par. 44.
